You may have heard about the crime wave being experienced by the residents of Alice Springs. Some people, including the Mayor of Alice Springs, say the end of the alcohol ban is to blame for the recent rise in violent crime. 

Some residents are calling for a return to previous legislation that bans alcohol sales in some communities - but does removing alcohol remove the crime? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the politics of alcohol and why it's hit the centre of Australia so hard.
